Hi. I am just curious. How were the filmmakers able to produce these films so quickly?
The first Sonic movie was supposed to be released in 2019 but there was so much backlash online about the titular character's original film design, and Paramount took notice of this and quickly fixed his design and released the movie in 2020.
Two years later Sonic the Hedgehog 2 comes out.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is slated to come out in 2023.
Please help. Thank you.
They're using the souls of the damned to sustain their power!

Probably used Chris Chan's dimensional merge energy to manifest the films.

Woah, Really. That’s Insane.

Yeah, That sounds normal in todays world.

Fucking what? Are you daft? Who the fuck
said that? The Knuckles Series WAS supposed to come out then but it was pushed back to 2024. So presumably Sonic 3 will be in 2025 at the latest.

It is called "Overworking the VFX teams".
I would contend that statement by saying the article is almost 10 years old but that does sound like something that happens today.

Oh, it is actually worse now. Because of the delays caused by covid, there is a massive backlog of movies that need post-production work. Which is why a lot of CGI heavy movies like The Marvels and The Flash got delayed.

Interestingly enough, Sonic's original film design:
was intended to be based on an actual hedgehog; they wanted him to look realistic. Of course this didn't sit well with a bunch of people.

There was a conspiracy the "controversial" design was a marketing stunt and they had already made the film with the actual character.

They originally wanted Sonic to look naturalistic.
That's been a trend in a lot of live-action/animated films that have been produced in the last two decades: take established famous cartoon properties and make them look naturalistic with 3D CGI.
For example, we've seen this in those live-action/animated films based on Hanna-Barbera cartoons, in those based on Alvin and the Chipmunks, the one based on Woody Woodpecker, and in Space Jam 2.

You’re sounding like a Twitter user. Why are you bringing up something from over a decade ago? Why does Ngman getting kicked in the balls matter? Do you expect him to remember the time a kid kicked his balls 10 years ago? I doubt he remembered what he had for breakfast this morning.

What is your point? We know this. No one liked it. All those movies you mentioned are god awful.(Alvin 1 was a slight bit better but not good in the slightest)
You really think that the original Sonic design was good? You’re insane.

Doesn't exist. He keeps making these useless ass question threads instead of working on that cartoon he's been making for about a decade or two.

Of course this didn't sit well with everybody with eyes.
I do not know of any single person that has defended the old Sonic or unironically prefers the old Sonic vs the new better one.

The original film design for Sonic wouldn't have bothered me too much.
I could see why people were turned off by it.

Because you aren’t a fan of Sonic. Let alone someone who knows enough about Sonic’s design elements that make him appealing.

Why does Hollywood assume people want to see naturalisticized versions of classic, famous established cartoon properties in movies?
I saw Rocky and Bullwinkle, the live-action/animated movie from the 2000's. The animated characters were 3D CGI but they weren't naturalistic-looking. They were 2D characters translated into 3D, like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but with CGI and not traditional animation.
When and how did the decision to make classic cartoon characters appear as naturalistic-looking, 3D CGI entities come about?

Going by the books I have read about Hollywood in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, that seems about right.
The censors back then even prohibited movies to show bathrooms at all.
